Aloha Reader!

A few weeks back we celebrated Simplero's birthday with the first and only sale we've ever done. The purpose of the sale was to acquire new customers and test price sensitivity in the market, so the discount was only for new customers, which naturally had a few existing customers asking if they could be a part of it as well.

One such email stood out, however, and it was from Anette Straadt of Æblebørn fame ("Applekids"). She wrote and asked what about us 'old' customers? What abo…

Please help me welcome the latest addition to the Simplero team, Val Geisler. She joins us to head up onboarding and marketing, something you should be able to feel shortly.

The story of how this came to be is instructional, so allow me to share.

As you may know, we've been searching for someone to do this for us for a while, unsuccessfully. We've had a few hires, but they didn't quite work out. I had a feeling that the right person would be someone who was already part of the community, who k…

Here's a Wednesday morning or afternoon truth for you: There really is nothing for you to do.

Everything you dream of, everything you wish to create, or to experience, is right there for your taking.

I'm not saying sit on the couch all day. I'm just saying, do what you feel called to do in the moment. Act from a place of inspiration. Do what you feel the impulse and the energy to do in the moment. And don't worry about anything else. Don't worry about all of the things you have to do or get…

When someone criticizes you, you have two choices: You can either defend yourself, argue for why they're wrong and you're right. Or you can see if you can find someplace in you where they're right.

I'm certainly familiar with the first choice. My fear was always that if I agree with you, then I must take whatever action you think I should take, or whatever action would be the "correct" response to agreeing. Like if someone says "I think this feature in Simplero is wrong". If I agree, will I now…

I had the joy of speaking with Simplero customer Raluca Mirza earlier today. She'd written me an email talking about overwhelm and perfectionism, and she graciously volunteered to hop on a video call with me to look into this, and to share the result with you.

I'm so grateful that she said yes. I know it can be frightening, but the reality is that there are no unique challenges. We all face some variation of the same thoughts and issues.

Watch and learn. I'm sure you'll find that you can relat…

Every single time I've struggled with something, when I finally found the key that unlocked the solution, it turned out to be easy.

If you've got the wrong key, or you're trying the wrong door, or you're turning the key the wrong way, or sticking it in the wrong hole, it's going to be a STRUGGLE. You push and push, turn and turn, fiddle and moan and hurt yourself and get all wound up, but the door simply won't open.

That's when it's time to pause, take a deep breath, and say: "I choose easy wo…

A few weeks ago I sent out a newsletter where I asked you about your vision, and Megan replied. Her reply intrigued me so much, I had to ask her for an interview. She obliged, but asked that it not be an interview, but rather a conversation that we just happened to record, and share if the result turned out to be useful. That sounded great to me.

Megan has really mastered how to create easy and flow and success in her business without even a hint of struggle. This, my friends, is how it's suppo…

First off, thank you all for an incredible birthday celebration last week. We had a blast at the live webinar, and all throughout the week received so much outpouring of support and gratitude, it was hard to no blush. Thank you.

Something that's on my mind this week is fully occupying space. It's a weird phenomenon, but I can very much feel it. Let me explain.

The idea comes from Gay Hendricks' book The Big Leap, which I've just finished reading for probably the fourth time. In the second half…

I was watching some clips from last night's comedy shows on YouTube this morning, when I came across the story about Trump bringing out a fresh map of the electoral college win in the middle of a conversation with journalists about the Chinese president. That's when in dawned on me: The guy just wants to be loved!

And you know what? I can empathize with that. Isn't that true for all of us? At the end of the day, we just want to feel that sense of wholeness that comes from feeling safe and loved…

Many of you may have evergreen courses, where you can just send your participants through the same material again and again and are not worried by time sensitive content or have turned off commenting by users. Many times these pages are auto-publish and therefore the pages must be released through automation or auto responses.

But what if your content changes a bit for each class based on the time of year or topics? Maybe you allow commenting on your content, and don't want the next class to se…
